    I met Dave Horning the morning of this year's SharkFest, he mentioned his pup, since passed, that had done it something like 10 times. I was sorry to see all the national news media pick this up as the "first time a dog's ever" story. (and I gotta tell you, it really takes the the fire out of an "I swam Alcatraz" boast....so what? if a dog can do it... :)) Oh well......... So F'ueco - did you have to swim against the incoming or outgoing tide? Guess every swim is different, but I should have headed more to the left, sounds like you should have headed more to the right from another post.... Guess that's what makes it so fun. You never know. And congrats! Chris
